does Botox cause glaucoma?

I have read conflicting articles.

Hello, That is very interesting - where have you read that? I think I have read that Botox is sometimes used for people with very droopy eyelids that impair their vision - but it can have adverse effects as one eyelid may not “match” the other following the Botox! Please tell us more about the article/s you have read. I am curious to know how it could cause Glaucoma, unless the “tightening” effect causes eye pressure to rise?

If Botox in injected around the eyes it can cause raised IOP especially if you have narrow angles. This is whether you are having it for medical or cosmetic reasons.
